Tonight: Pecha Kucha No. 4

​Organizers are setting up and a handful of speakers are prepping their presentations for tonight'sPecha-Kucha Night Phoenix.

The casual event gives creatives of all disciplines just under 7 minutes to present 20 slides about their ideas and work-in-progess. The fourth Phoenix event, modeled after the original Pecha Kucha community gatherings in Japan, will draw a variety of speakers and audience members to the relaxed (and bar-equipped) FilmBar in downtown Phoenix.

Pecha Kucha organizer Jason Ayers says he hopes to make Pecha Kucha a monthly event where the local community can come together informally and talk about what they're working on.

"Make it more like a salon and less like a lecture," Ayers said. "No bullet points."

Tonight's speakers:

- Regular Gallery and Roosevelt Row member Greg Esser will talk about Roosevelt Row and upcoming projects in downtown Phoenix.

- Hugo Medina, a painter and arts community activist, will give a short presentation on local art projects in the works.

- Designer and film fanatic Victor Moreno will discuss the collection of the classic cult film posters he and other local designers have produced for FilmBar, The Royale, and MADCAP theatre.

- Architectural designers Lorenzo Perez and Jon Kitchell of The Venue Project will give a presentation about reuse in design.
